Present the problem, convincing Cedric we're on the up-and-up...
Allow Lady to barter a price / get him to take us somewhere more secluded?
If we're really lucky, we could even get an upfront payment from the victim himself!

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
"Indeed..." spoke the "older" woman. Her eyes drifted purposely towards the two figures bemoaning the "lost opportunity" at the Governor's manor, then over to the gnome and his pointer before focusing on Cedric and giving him a respectful nod. "We don't doubt the magic, Guildmaster...but curious peoples' eyes still have a way of wandering where they shouldn't be."

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
Cedric's eyes flit between the party as they sit across from him. His tongue pokes out as he yet again re-adjusts his jaw. Fine then, but you'd better not be wasting my time. As he finishes the last grouping of coins, he pulls each sack of the ring holding it, drops each sack into the larger fifth sack, then pulls the strings tight. He presses the button with a circle, before raising his voice, Ka'gah'ta!
At his call the emaciated goliath steps around the counter, and towards the table, reaching as they move. Cedric hands both the sack and the scales over to the looming figure. I'm going to take these 4 downstairs for a private meeting, if they come back up without me KILL them.
Turning back to the group he smiles before hovering his finger over the 1st button, the one pointing towards him. Last Chance, anyone want out before we make decisions with consequences?
Spoiler: If no one objects....Cedric's finger presses the button pointing towards him, the booth shook just for a moment, before slowly lowering into the floor. With the exception of the watching Ka'gah'ta, no one seemed to notice. Apparently the moving booth was a common enough occurrence.
As the ceiling descended with the booth, the gap to escape it quickly lessened before vanishing entirely, a few moments after light slid in from behind the backs of all the benches, as they were lowered into a well lit 30' x 30' room.

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
"Thank you for understanding, Guildmaster..." Again, a respectful nod from the woman as the Lady allowed herself to appear relieved. Still, she waited for Cedric to approach and sit in the plush seats first, wondering what sort of toxin or torture that goliath had been put through to look so emaciated. Perhaps it was a way to break its will.
If that was the case, then there was more sin on Cedric's soul -- and more reason to deserve death.

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
Vibax waits quietly, though holding his tongue is figuratively killing him.
I know that potion can work miracles. Trust your comrades, Vibax.
Vibax keeps his seat in the booth, looking around with interest as the booth descends. Seeing the more comfortable seating in the chamber below, he waits to see what hospitality Cedric might offer to his guests.

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
Cedric moved from his spot in the booth, carefully keeping his distance from the members of this strange group.
He moved past them casually, but carefully keeping them in view, never once turning his back to them. He sits in a chair and waving his hand. Churl - bring us some wine.
*1
A bottle of wine and a tray of glasses lifted from beside the bed, and moved gently through the air, as the tray of glasses approached Cedric he plucked one, and held it while the bottle filled.
The floating drinkware continues and halts before each member of the party.
Now then, what do you think you know that is so very important to me?
Spoiler: RollsSpellcraft/K. Arcana check (either or both)

We need to know that we'll be safe, paid, and permanently hired. We're taking a big risk here, and we need assurances!
Or, at least we would if any of this was true...
Would be fun to get him to pay us for his assassination, too Or maybe he'll trade info, and we can learn more about what's going down behind the scenes with the Governor?
Switching stances to prepare for a kill, if we go that route...

Re: IC - An Assassins Ambition - Earn 500k gold.
The Lady nodded respectfully (though with some look of confusion) towards the air as she took the offered glass. She raised it to her lips and gave it a cursory sniff, not daring to drink just yet, but making sure for politeness' sake that propriety was observed. At the very least, it would provide contrast to "Thelma's" brusqueness.
And all the while, she watched Cedric carefully, looking for any social chink in the armor they could exploit or be wary about...
If he's capable of magic, this changes things...Last edited by Cygnia; 2020-12-12 at 03:30 PM.
